We drove halfway up the mountain in an argument and it didn’t get much better once we arrived. I can’t even remember what it was about. But most likely it was precipitated by a lack of time together lately, the stresses of finances, and the myriad of responsibilities on both of our shoulders. When we […]
Unglued {Lesson 6} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
This week has been filled with captivating my thoughts … replacing ideas of comparison and jealousy, quieting negative chatter and internal noise, removing worry and destructive thoughts, And exchanging them all with things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. And while I haven’t gotten it perfect every time, there was progress indeed–progress […]
Unglued {Lesson 5} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
They run around the mountain cabin like a band of barbarians, wild and crazy and loud. They chase and they banter and their excitement is palpable. And still, I’m irritated and annoyed, and I come Unglued. Nevermind they’re just kids in a new and exciting place Never mind they’ve been cooped up in a car […]

As I’ve explored my self-inflicted labels and recognized my exploding and stuffing tendencies, I realize what a mess I really am. Don’t get me […]
Unglued {Lesson 2} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
This week it was no surprise that making wise choices in the midst of my raw emotions proved difficult for me. Slow steps indeed, requiring lots of grace. There was the person at church who rudely made an unreasonable request… My husband, who tried to help me, but in my opinion was taking too long… A […]
Unglued {Lesson 1} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
Coming unglued seems to be an epidemic … I can’t begin to count all the times I’ve been unglued… When she wrote with Sharpie all over her arms and legs. Twice. When we spent a lot of money on his orthodontics and he didn’t “want” to wear his retainer. When she failed to follow through […]
